Viva what?

Ok, now I'm losing it! One of the best Elvis songs ever was Viva Las Vegas, not that I'm prejudiced or anything because I...yes, I was in the movie, Dear Readers! I was an extra in movies while in college and I was a show girl clearly seen if you know who I am, in a pivotal scene between E and Ann Margret!
And now, the horror of it...they are using the song for, get ready...Viagra!
I swear!
I just heard this commercial with very nice looking guys playing their instruments, you should excuse the expression and then singing...'Viva..Viagra!' Stop it! Let's all complain, shall we!I'll never be able to enjoy that song again.

You certainly seem to have lived an interesting life thus far. Showgirl in an Elvis movie (other uncredited folks in that movie included Terri Garr, Kent McCord and Lance LeGault - in case your readers didn't know). Comedy writer for Newhart and others. Perhaps you should write a book, or two. I'd guess that you have quite a collection of stories you could tell.

I'm brilliant, talented, well educated, and of course humble! Just kidding....

Actually, a quick bit of research in ImDB did the trick.

Hello Susan,

It's me anonymous2 the one from Europe,not the pervious 2 other anonymous commentors!

Gee,your post made me giggle and at the same time think wow!now men even have to sing a song after taking Viagra to get things elevated,what a joke!Elvis I'm sure did not need the Viagra but he sure could sing and swing at the same time.Tell us more about your time as a showgirl before moving forward in life to become the Lady that you are!

Her name was Susan,she was a showgirl,

With yellow feathers in her hair and a dress cut down to there,

She would merengue and do the cha-cha.......


Well there is nothing that gets the blood boiling and the feet off of the ground as good music,no wonder you have fantastic legs as shown in the previous photograph that you had up the other week,I say,you have either got it or you don't,needless to say you have got it all,no Mr.Adequate yet but who needs him when you have got "IT".

Have a great day!

Forgive the little spelling error,it is still early in the morning this part of the globe,sipping another cup of freshly brewed tea with some milk and sweetend with a bit of acacia honey will get me going!
